Written by：Shawn Carter/Chuck Stanton/Theron Otis Feemster
Can you hear me now good blueprint 2 baby
The best of times it was the worst of times aoww
It's the gift the curse
R o c yeah number one clique here
If you represent us throw them diamonds up yeah
Now let's be clear I ain't goin nowhere
Now that you know holla at your boy
Hov' hov' hov' hov'
Hov' hov' hov' hov'
Overlapping first hook
Yeah roc a fella records
You know what diamond is
We ain't goin nowhere put your diamonds up
Standin in my b boy stance
Free beans memphis where you at ni**a
Right here snatch cam and it's a wrap
This here rap belong to us nobody strong as us it's a fact
Hold up I'm just warmin up gimme a second to get it back
Young chris neef what oschino and sparks
Next summer's yo' summer tear this motherf**ker up
Young is eternal my young'uns'll burn you
The blueprint birthed ni**a I earthed you you can't be serious
Young cause I'm thirty two dressed like I'm twenty two
Flow like a 18 do what I wanna do
Goin on my 8 th ring got phil jackson's zen
Flow is black magic I'm at it again
Rose gold with black karats horse carriage to spend
Like mason betha chasing this cheddar to the end
Of the road because the end I'm told is nearer than we know
What can I say but live for today hov'
R o c yeah number one clique here
If you represent us throw them diamonds up yeah
Now let's be clear I ain't goin nowhere
Now that you know holla at your boy
Yeah the blueprint 2 homey follow the moves
You put on two tube socks you couldn't walk in my shoes
I was dealt a bad hand f**k what else could I do
But keep somethin up my sleeve that'll help me through
But can you believe everywhere I'm at models come through
Cat fightin cat walkin it happens often
It's true how society don't want me to move
Into the penthouse building with spectacular views
They're like uhh he's a menace he could never be a tenant
I'm like ooh what's a young ni**a to do
I bring the brothers to the building give a feeling that I don't
Give a f**k we just chillin watchin chandelier ceilings high as f**k
Old lady don't blow my high
'Specially if you don't know my life don't make me bring
Sharpton in it cause I'm dark skinneded or
Dude with the 'fro and the rainbow coalition I'mma
Victim of a single parent household born in a mousehole
Mousetrap niggas wanna know
How so how jay get up out that here yeah
I snatched purses I per se vered yeah
I had work fiends purchased it was clear
I was out there sellin hope for despair but stop there
I swear I only make good from my mouth to god's ears
Had to get out the hood
And I can't justify genocide
But I was born in the city where the skinny niggas die
Born in the city where the skinny niggas ride
And as a skinny ni**a I had beef with high size
R o c yeah number one clique here
If you represent us throw them diamonds up yeah
Now let's be clear I ain't goin nowhere
Now that you know holla at your boy
Hov' hov' hov' hov'
Hov' hov' hov' hov'
